A trusted Joystiq source has confirmed that Taito's mobile and iPhone game Space Invaders Infinity Gene is coming to Xbox Live Arcade and PSN. Further corroborating our source's intel is Australian ratings board the OFLC, which has published a rating for an unspecified "multiplatform" release of Infinity Gene. Ubisoft, which distributes Square Enix titles in Australia is listed as the publisher. (Square Enix is the parent company of Taito.)
With some neat functionality -- the iPhone version lets players generate levels based on their stored music -- and an HD facelift, we'd be willing to bet Space Invaders Infinity Gene wouldn't find much opposition on Xbox Live Arcade and PSN. Previously, Taito released a version of its handheld series Space Invaders Extreme on XBLA to positive reception.

Infinity Gene is a pretty awesome game. It's actually kind of amazing how well Taito has done with the Space Invader updates in the past few years, IG, Extreme, and Get Even were all good-to-great games.

I will probably pick this up. Maybe it can beat out my addiction to Beat Hazard.

Whoo-hoo! If this is an HD version of Infinity Gene sign me up. It's without a doubt one of the best shmups on the iPhone.

The iPhone game is the most expensive app I've paid for (It was like $5) and at no point did I feel like I paid too much. I love this game. I'll re-buy it for XBLA when it comes out!

This wasn't a game on my radar when it first appeared on the iPhone, but I kept hearing people talk about how good it was that I picked it up one day and was surprised at how deep the game was. It was pretty funny to play. I wouldn't mind playing this on Live.

Very good iPhone game, just hope they can translate the vertical nature of the iPhone's screen into a widescreen console game.
